My response:

Dear John,

I would vote for haplogroup I, or IJ. I have tentatively justified this
hypothesis in a paper link to which was provided in a discussion with
Dienekes ("DNA Genealogy, Craniometry, and Origin of Europeoids",
Proceedings, 2010 August, 1256-1309). The paper is in Russian, though.
